Panda Studios has been family owned and NURTURED for 32 years! We are passionate about maintaining our studio as a place "Where everyone is a star."

We provide an eclectic mix of Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Hip-Hop, and Tumbling. We also have competitive dance teams that perform throughout Chicagoland.

We have created a dance studio where our students – at every level –shine as brightly as the stars in the sky!
